Hi Rajesh,

the first thing that I suggest to do is to increase JVM parameters https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/CBc

This is a very usual approach to increase JIRA performances in order to avoid OutOfMemory issues.

Moreover, I suggest to install JAVA Melody plugins for jira monitoring.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

This should not stop Jira.

Don't know if it is the cause, but you should fix it anyway, it's not correct behavior.

It seems that either you are having a network or database problem with is causing the connection to the DB fail. I'd check the database server health and logs to see if it the DB is oscilating from unhealthy to healthy state. In addition you can tune your dbconfig.xml to survive connection closures. You may refer thi KB: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Surviving+Connection+Closures

Hope this helps!
